Candidate Forum, Lisa Kaul with Rob Rolison— NY’s 39th State Senate Candidates-It Matters!

Keep showing up! We can do better by electing Lisa Kaul.

Voting for strong candidates in every election means being informed. Be in the know.

Electing strong local officials is key to thwarting the assaults on Constitutional liberties, civil and human rights, and for changes that protect us, including our profiled neighbors, some arrested on their way to work, church or school.

Good Trouble Lived on —Hudson Valley Plus! Pick one!

https://www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-actions/

Use the link for wherever you may be.
The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power.
But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.
Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us!
Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Have accessibility questions? Reply to your registration email to confirm your requirements or request more information.

Thank you.
